Objectives
The Engineering Department offers a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical Engineering is generally considered the broadest and most versatile engineering discipline. It encompasses topics ranging from structural design to energy optimization, and graduates can work in a variety of industries such as aerospace, petroleum, robotics, and biomedical design. Upon graduation with this degree, students are eligible for hire in engineering firms and qualified to move forward toward professional licensure. The capstone course in engineering makes use of students' manufacturing skills and integrates their learning experiences into real-world practicality. The mission of the program is to provide an intimate and hands-on engineering education that is both technically proficient and socially minded while fostering creativity and innovation. We endeavor to go beyond just making our students competent professionals, but to also make them responsible global citizens.
HSU has new, cutting-edge laboratory facilities and equipment to allow students to have the hands-on experiences that translates classroom knowledge to practical application.
